Questions & Answers about Questo sondaggio è interessante, ne scriverò sul giornale.
Why do we use ne here to mean "about it"?
Why does ne go before the verb scriverò instead of attaching to the end of it?
Why does the Italian use sul giornale when the English translation says "in the newspaper"?
While English says you write something "in" a newspaper, Italian treats physical printed media like newspapers and magazines as surfaces. Therefore, it uses the preposition su (on). Combined with the definite article il, it forms the articulated preposition sul.
How do we know scriverò is in the future tense just by looking at it?
The accented -ò ending is the standard first-person singular (io) ending for regular verbs in the future tense. The accent mark is mandatory because it tells you to stress that final syllable when speaking.
